Cutaneous extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma is a rare cancer and chemotherapeutic agents like etoposide, vincristine and cyclophosphamide are the drug of choice, which rarely cause hyperpigmentation in skin and nails. However, herein we present a case of hyperpigmentation that was seen in tongue and even in teeth. The hyperpigmentation of the tongue and teeth occurred shortly after the initiation of chemotherapy. Hyperpigmentation was self-limiting and rectified in a week without need of any pharmacological, surgical, or lifestyle interventions.

Objectives: This study aims to assess the awareness and acceptance of preventive and interceptive orthodontic treatment among Saudi perents.

Riga-Fede disease (RFD) is a rare, benign condition marked by traumatic ulceration on the tongue's ventral side in infants. It arises from friction between the tongue and lower incisors during sucking, potentially worsening into a keratinized lesion if the cause is not addressed. This report details the case of a 1-year-6-month-old male with hydrocephalus, cleft palate, corpus callosum dysgenesis, neuropsychomotor developmental delay, and tracheostomy and gastrostomy needs.

Background: The impact of tongue protrusion forces on the formation of malocclusions is well documented in academic literature. In the case of bone dehiscence of the buccal wall in front of the lower frontal teeth, this process may be even more pronounced. Augmentation with 3D customized allogenic bone blocks (CABB) has been proposed as a potential solution for treating such defects.
